g gig specification Application filed. Cicteber 9, Serial Ho. 565,828,

To all whom mag concern Be it known that l, Gnonen HILL, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of May etta, in the county of Jacksonand State of Kansas, have invented new and useful lin pro" .'einents inVehicle-Seats, of which the following is a specification,

My invention relates o vehicle seats, and pertains more particularly tothe risers or supporting side frames of such seats.

The object of my invention is to produce a metallic riser for vehicleseats capable of economical construction, and adapted to embrace the topedge of the vehicle body on it is carried and reinforce samethroiiighout the entire lengthot the riser.

Another object thereof is to produce a seat riser provided withlaterally extending flanges at the top thereof to which the seat issecured and adapted to sustain the seat and body frame from lateralpressure.

A further object thereof is to provide a longitudinal. depending flangeon each side of the loweredge of the riser adapted to em.- brace both.edges elf-and reinforce the sides of the vehicle body, and a stillfurther object of my invention is to produce a more simple, cheap andeiiicient riser for vehicle seats than t 2 heretofore been attained.

to these ends, my invention includes the combination and arrangement otcomponent parts to be hereinafter described and more particularlypointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters indicatesimilar parts, Figure 1 is a perspective; viewoi a vehicle seatembodying my seat riser; Fig; 2 is a side elevation of my seatriser;Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the same taken on the line 33 ofFig. 2; and Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional View eta modified. formthereof.

Referring to said drawings, 1 designates the frame of my riser, which ispreferably made of sheet metal such as soft rolled steel, adapted to bepressed or stamped into the form shown. At the top ,edge thereof areprovided oppositely extending lateral horirental flanges 2 and 3 onwhich the seat may be screwed or bolted through the oritices 1-.

As shown in the drawings, the upper ends of each plate are bentoutwardly'to form the flanges 52 and 3, while the lower end of the outerplate Z; is bent to form a looped flange 5-by which is provided acontinuous groove or seat 6 to *eceive the top edge of the side of thevehicle body throughout the entirelength of the riser, The inner plate 0is bent laterally theopposite direction adjacent to its lower end toform the horizontal flange 6 adapted to rest on the shoulder 7 0n theinner face of the side of the vehicle body, to which it may be securedby the pivoted clamp 8.

In the modified form of my invention, shown in Fig. i of the drawings,the inner plate 0 is extended to the floor of the vehicle on which thelateral flange 6 rests and to which it may be secured by screws or boltspassing through orifices therein. The construction of my seat riser thusaffords a continuous support and reinforcement to the V sides of thevehicle body throughout the length of the side plates thereof by reasonof its embracing the edges thereof, and through the rigid structure ofthe seat resulting from the laterally extending flanges on both sides ofthe side plate to which the seat proper is secured,

Having thus described my invention, what claim as new and desire to besecured by Letters Patent, is s in A. iser for vehicle sea-ts,comprising-a vertical metal plate, laterally extending flanges at itstop edge, a longitudinal groove in its lower edge ada ited to fit on thetop of a vehicle body, a laterally extending flange on said lower edgeadapted to rest upon a shoulder on the side of a vehicle body, and meansfor securing same in position, substantially as described.

2. A riser for vehicle seats, comprising a side frame made of two metalplates clampedtogether, the upper ends of said plates being turnedoutwardly to form oppositely extending lateral flanges on which the seatis Secured} the lower end of the outenframe plube belng bent to form alooped flange forming a, continuous longitudinal groove to fit upon thetop edge of a. vehicle body, the lower end of the inner frame platebeing bent laterally to form a horizontal flange to rest on the vehiclebody; and means for securing same in position, substantially asdescrlbed.
